[FIXED] Java - Access Specifier

Issue

Can classes in java have any other access specifier than public ? Can we save our file with that classname which has specifier other than public ?

Solution

Access modifiers in java – explain.

I) Class level access modifiers (java classes only)

Only two access modifiers is allowed, public and no modifier

If a class is ‘public’, then it CAN be accessed from ANYWHERE.

If a class has ‘no modifier’, then it CAN ONLY be accessed from ’same package’.

II) Member level access modifiers (java variables and java methods)

All the four public, private, protected and no modifier is allowed.

public and no modifier – the same way as used in class level.

private – members CAN ONLY access.

protected – CAN be accessed from ’same package’ and a subclass existing in any package can access.
